@glennf I had a flight the day after the plane landed in the Hudson after losing both engines. I’ve never seen as many people reading the safety card and listening to the flight attendant safety announcements as I did that day. “In the event of a water landing (we might not die!)”
@mattblaze thanks for continuing to share your work and details on how you do it. Personally I avoid tripods almost entirely and shoot mostly with a Leica Q2 and my phone’s camera, so your posts are an important reminder to me of the choices that I have made and the alternatives that are available. I hope you will continue to share your art!
@scalzi Does “Assistant to the Villain" also involve cats?
@taylorlorenz “Passenger Is Nearly Kicked Off Flight for Not Following Flight Attendant's Instructions” is how this headline would be written for any non-famous person creating a disruption on an airplane. And then it wouldn't be in the NY Times because it probably happens many times per day.
@mattblaze I wonder how large the universe of people who had the ability and resource access to create and deploy the worm was at that time. How long would it have taken to ask each of those people “did you do this?”
@gsuberland wash it down with a ramosa - champagne and pork broth
Dave RahardjaSo I went to a couple of car meets today and did an A/B/C #shootout on an #iPhone14Pro and #GooglePixel7. All images appear in this sequence:
1. #Halide app on #iPhone 14 Pro, RAW with as many post-processing options turned off as possible
2 iPhone 14 Pro camera app, #ProRAW
3. #Google #Pixel 7, RAW
The photos are mostly images of cars, not people.
All images are shot with the default 1x lens.
All images are imported as .dng into Lightroom and left as-is *except* for Halide shots which are all inexplicably overexposed by around 1.5 stops. For those shots, I manually lowered exposure, but left all other sliders where they were.
Halide produces 12 MP images even when I choose 48 MP. iPhone camera produces 48 MP images. Pixel 7 produces 12 MP images. It’s pretty obvious that the “48 MP” and “50 MP” images are synthesized out of binned-pixel 12 MP sensors. The images uploaded here are downscaled to 1080p jpgs using the same Lightroom settings (sRGB, 95% quality).
OK, on with the show!
@scalzi I’ve been hearing for years that I’m being judged from above by an entity with a 3 letter name. Now I’m both relieved and concerned that those 3 letters are C, A, and T.
